Tickets Suck

Seriously I would chalk this up as a success story getting it down from $420 to 260.

Did they drop some of the charges (license plate & headphones) or just reduce the speed? Do you end up with a buttload of points cause you have all 3 charges?

To the cop I'm sure what you were doing looked totally assinine since you're going right past someone's front yard which could have had playing kids in it.

I know. I was at the fact it was in a residential area. Which is the reason I dont speed through those areas.

Imagine yourself as a parent with a few little kids of your own, and they are playing in your front yard, and some fucking jackass on a 500lb machine goes blowing past your house, and possibly within a few feet of your children going 70mph.

Personally, I dont like that thought, I'd be pissed.

The license plate was dropped since I brought pictures showing I corrected it. The speeding was lowered cause I said I was going 55 not 75. So they accessed my fine that way. I could have appealed but then I could have lost and paid 420. I am just gonna suck it up. I know I was wrong. As far as houses. There are some but its not a street that parent let thier kids play in. I mean if you think about it, there are houses on a lot of fun roads. You just dont think about that cause you are having fun.

i understand, but it's not really about "parents shouldn't be letting their kids play in a street like that". it's more about how there's a greater risk of hitting someone in a residential area. i know i'd be devastated if i hit some poor little kid even if i was not at fault at all. just the fact that i know it could happen is enough of a reason for me to keep my speeds down in areas like that.

i don't want to get all preachy.. you seem to understand.
